Jefferson awards three-year trash contract to Loren Fischer Disposal

The Jefferson City Council voted Aug. 4 to accept a three-year residential trash contract from Loren Fischer Disposal, Inc., after reviewing sealed bids from two companies. Loren Fischer's proposal rates are $18.50 per account per month for 2025-26 and 2026-27, and $19.00 for 2027-28; council members noted Gill Hauling had submitted a slightly different schedule (e.g., $18.34 in 2025-26). The motion to accept Loren Fischer's bid was made by Council Member J. Casper and seconded by T. Boulware and carried.

The award covers 230 accounts and the finance officer presented the annual per-account totals as part of the bid opening. Council did not record any amendments to the motion; the contract award was entered into the minutes as a carried motion. The bids and the council action will be retained with the meeting records.
